CLB and PIT are have real cap issues. CGY isn't nearly as bad and can help both while improving on the ice.
It's been reported that the NHLPA will use the escalator which could bring the cap to about $72.77 mil. CLB needs to sign Seth Jones. PIT is already projected to be over the cap t start the season (via Generalfanager)
I'll mention right now that the real assets gained by both CLB and PIT are primarily cap savings so please consider this when commenting. This is a complicated trade.

To PIT: #34 (CLB), #66 (CGY), L. Bouma (CGY)

To CLB: #6 (CGY), #54 (CGY), MA Fleury (PIT), J. Colborne (CGY)

To CGY: #3 (CLB), S. Bobrovsky (CLB) - ($1.425 retained) , S. Hartnell

CLB- gets a $5mil cap savings (prior to resigning Colborne who I project to get $2.5 mil and can play all fwd positions. Add in their available cap space of around $4 mil, that gives plenty of space to resign Jones. Plus a top 10 pick to draft Brown or Keller for their #1 C (future) position and another 2nd rnd pick, and a replacement #1 G.
PIT- gets a heart and soul 3-4 liner signed for 2 more years and 2 extra draft picks that they were lacking in as well as $3.55 in cap savings.
CGY- gets the #3 pick they covet
(Puljujarvi), Hartnell to play on the LW and a starting G.

CGY will have to buy out Raymond, but will still be able to resign Johnny and Mony to a combined $14 mil as well as Nakladal, Wotherspoon, Ortio, and Jooris @ $750,000- $1 mil each. They will also have to do a paper transaction of Bennett to the minors to start the season to be under the cap, and then place Smid on LTIR to be under the cap by just under $3.5 mil
All caps work, all teams are tight, but doable. Thoughts?

Thought it would be dumb but is actually not bad, if three team trades were more common this would actually make sense,

I am pretty sure there is way to much cap going to Calgary. They still have to resign Gaudreau and Monahan and only have around 20 mil in cap space.

Calgary gets a lot more value than Columbus and Pittsburgh.

Calgary takes this and runs and never turns back. But with cap they can't do this.
